A former MMA fighter is going to Capitol Hill.
Sharice Davids, who tried out for The Ultimate Fighter just four years ago, was elected to Congress on Tuesday night in the 3rd District of Kansas, multiple outlets are reporting.
Davids, 38, will join Markwayne Mullin of Oklahoma as former mixed martial arts fighters serving in the United States House of Representatives. Davids, a Democrat, will also be one of the first Native American women elected to Congress and the first-ever openly gay Native American woman elected to Congress. She was a long underdog early in the race in a state that votes mostly Republican.
